Man, talk about a ride report.. this is great...

Jason declared himself "King of the Hill" and claimed all of the land he could see as his domain.

Then the King fell in the creek and got his boot all wet...

Now thats funny!!

I am very jealous at this time. While ya'll are having a great time, I have to get ready for work.

Stay safe

Talked Brad into climbing a rock outcropping so we could take his picture. What I was really hoping for was some action shots of him going a$$ over tea kettle on the way down. Didn't happen though. Bummer.

I mean, who knew the guy was freakin' Sherpa?

Gopher & Newsmag -

We're leaving Kalispell and taking Route 93 south through Idaho and into Utah. Will be staying in Park City for one night before heading south through Moab and onto Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Don't know if yopu guys are along that route anywhere, but let us know.

You won't be going too near Gopher, but you will probably pass within a mile of my place on your way to Park City. When are you coming through?

 

[Earache]

Enough Tom Foolery, back to the riding...

What a fantastic valley ranch this guy has! Lively stream, lush greenery, quite the spread.

Shame about that wicked curve on the road above him though. Wonder how many vehicles have dropped in for a visit to his land....

You guys are having way too much of a good time. And wives and SO's wonder why road trips are so much fun. Keep up the good work.

Cool! We're staying in Park City at the Hampton Inn on Thursday night. Only gonna be there for one night. Stop by for a beer!

 

[Earache]

Very true, John.

My wife will be meeting us in Santa Fe on Friday for three days of riding in that area. She'll lend both better looks and better behavior to the group before she dumps us and flys back home. Then we can get back to debauchery like it's supposed to be.


But I digress....

 

[Mark]

Great shots and some beautiful country.
'Big sky'... and you're just on the plains...

Thanks!

Continue to keep us poSTed. Looks like a great ride so far.

Let me know if ya get close to Kingman. Always hospitality at the CattHouse.

 

[Earache]

I don't care of I have to pay for it, I gotta get Jason some female companionship. And very soon! He's been on the road too long already...

 

[Earache]

High above the raging Flathead River, heading into Kalispell along Route 2...

 

[Earache]

We arrive in town and get our rooms at the histroric Kalispell Grand Hotel in beautiful downtown Kalispell. Built in the early 1900's, the exterior hasn't changed much but the interior is quite nice with clean and comfortable rooms.

The lobby is replete with some antiques and some dead animal heads on the walls. Always wondered what they did with the rest of Moose....

 

[Earache]

After a quick shower and general clean up, we asked Cody the friendly desk clerk where we should go to eat and have a few beers. She suggested Red's White and Blues ( http://www.redsmontana.com/ ) - a scant block away.

Cody is a delightfully shy and unassuming girl. We'll have her cussing like a sailor and bicthin' with the best of them by week's end. Probably get her fired, too. But she sure can pick the good places to eat! Good food, great wine and beer list as well.

 

[Earache]

Brad and I had the rack of ribs while Jason opted for a rather small Porterhouse steak. All were well prepared and get my recommendation.

Extensive beer list allowed us to imbide as we dined.

Watched, with great glee, two ladies making out at the bar. The waiter said they were thespians or something like that...

 

[Earache]

Stumbled back to The Grand. Good thing it was lit rather brightly or I might have missed it in my alcoholic stupor.

Good night all, more pics later............

 

[STrep]

There has to be a potential picture for the 2008 ST calendar some where amongst those great pics!

Thanks George! Probably won't get that far south / west this time.
Be good to shoot the crap about the old HSTA days.

I suspect so after that bottle of Chimay!!!
More great shots; my sister has a place just out of Whitefish.
